- Like virtually every other privately held company, NeXT does not make detailed
- financial statements available to the general public. All you can get is what
- NeXT has chosen to announce in press releases, etc., concerning sales,
- expenditures and profits. When NeXT actually choose to go public, then they'll
- need to issue a detailed financial report, but don't expect to see it a day
- sooner. ..bruce..

- P.S. This is not only standard business practice, it's good business practice.
